Text of the page (random words):
in this activity and he deserves to be incarcerated under the law what these defendants did was ugly it was painful it is sad and it is indeed criminal in the mississippi we have tried to bury when there was a jury verdict for those who perpetrated crimes and committed lynchings in the name of white power that verdict typically said that the victim died at the hands of persons unknown the legal and criminal justice system operated with ruthless efficiency in upholding what these defendants would call white power today though the criminal justice system state and federal has proceeded methodically patiently and deliberately seeking justice today we learned the identities of the persons unknown they stand here publicly today the sadness of this day also has an element of irony to it each defendant was escorted into court by agents of an african american united states marshal having been prosecuted by a team of lawyers which includes an african american ausa from an office headed by an african american u s attorney all under the direction of an african american attorney general for sentencing before a judge who is african american whose final act will be to turn over the care and custody of these individuals to the bop an agency headed by an african american today we take another step away from mississippi s tortured past we move farther away from the abyss indeed mississippi is a place and a state of mind and those who think they know about her people and her past will also understand that her story has not been completely written mississippi has a present and a future that present and future has promise as demonstrated by the work of the officers within these state and federal agencies black and white male and female in this mississippi they work together to advance the rule of law having learned from mississippi s inglorious past these officials know that in advancing the rule of law the criminal justice system must operate without regard to race creed or color this is the strongest way mississippi can reject those notions those ideas which brought us here today at their guilty plea hearings deryl paul dedmon dylan wade butler and john aaron rice told the world exactly what their roles were it is ugly it is painful it is sad it is criminal the court now sentences the defendants as follows the specific sentences are not part of the judge s prepared remarks the court has considered the advisory guidelines computations and the sentencing factors under 18 u s c 3553 a the court has considered the defendants history and characteristics the court has also considered unusual circumstances the extraordinary circumstances and the peculiar seriousness and gravity of those offenses i have paid special attention to the plea agreements and the recommendations of the united states i have read the letters received on behalf of the defendants i believe these sentences provide just punishment to each of these defendants and equally important i believe they serve as adequate deterrence to others and i hope that these sentences will discourage others from heading down a similar life altering path i have considered the sentencing guidelines and the policy statements and the law these sentences are the result of much thought and deliberation these sentences will not bring back james craig anderson nor will they restore the lives they enjoyed prior to 2011 the court knows that james anderson s mother who is now 89 years old lived through the horrors of the old mississippi and the court hopes that she and her family can find peace in knowing that with these sentences in the new mississippi justice is truly blind justice however will not be complete unless these defendants use the remainder of their lives to learn from this experience and fully commit to making a positive difference in the new mississippi and finally the court wishes that the defendants also can find peace hands up don t shoot 23 tuesday dec 2014 posted

posted by asabagna in afrospear afrosphere bob marley captain ron johnson ferguson missouri genocide justice kajieme powell peter tosh revolution white supremacy ideology 2 comments i received the following note on facebook bro asa i m also distressed about the recent killing of kajieme powell i understand police having to protect themselves but this young man was acting erratically and after viewing the video it looked like suicide by cop are the cadets trained on how to disarm someone acting in a bizarre manner who is probably mentally ill without killing him one officer years ago told me that you can drop someone by shooting them in the legs knees arms he s never had to kill anyone they cuffed this young man and it was clear that he was down and unable to attack anyone i guess i m wondering given your law enforcement expertise when you have the time if you can address these issues on your blog i also understand the precariousness of doing so given your profession i would like to see more officers with the intelligence common sense and expertise of highway patrol captain ron johnson i feel like you do thanks for hearing me out my reply dear sis carolyn like you i m also distressed by the executing of our black men and boys by the police as a black man a black father of a young black son and a black police officer i have a certain maybe even an unique perspective into these situations however i made a conscious decision to not do a blog post so as to add to the deluge of intellectualized placebos from all quarters which only real and lasting accomplishment is to further desensitize our society to the genocide being committed against those of african descent those with black and brown skins worldwide the word states that there is nothing new under the sun it s all been said discussed and debated before as well as now the truth is that whether it s 1614 1714 1814 1914 or 2014 the terrorism that is white supremacy continues to be unleashed upon us ironically even more so under the administration of the first usa black president and his black attorney general however as you are my sister and i know of the sincerity of your empathy i will offer my two cents to you to spend as you wish in the kajieme powell incident what compounds the situation was the fact that he was mentally and emotionally disturbed i don t know about kajieme s personal history but i do know that in an effort to reduce health care costs there is a trend to release those with mental and emotional problems into society when they actually should be in facilities that are adept in treating their conditions or at least monitoring and stabilizing it with medication they are being released into the custody of those who do love them but aren t capable in handling their conditions if it deteriorates it then more often than not becomes a police problem however police officers aren t trained to be psychologists simply put we re trained to eliminate a threat with extreme prejudice which means different things to different police officers as a police officer in canada we re specifically trained that when you re dealing with someone who is mentally and emotionally disturbed who is armed and making threats including asking to be killed by the police you re dealing with one of the most erratic irrational and dangerous situations you will ever face as a police officer from what i know this training is similar in the usa regardless of one s training the response to these situations is ultimately made by the individual officer s this response would be influenced by a number of factors such as the officer s upbringing how he she is socialized and their resulting prejudices their views on race class gender as well as their own physical mental and emotional abilities capabilities and shortcomings etc looking at the video it is my belief that other interventions could have been utilized before the decision to shoot and kill kajieme became the final solution disengage back up contact family members his social worker or mental health specialist etc to speak with him get some police shields from ferguson and rush him with an officer prepared to discharge a taser to incapacitate him i don t want to be a monday morning arm chair quarterback because i wasn t there but from what i can deduce from this situation these are some of the options i personally would attempt or discuss with my fellow officers before deciding that i had no other choice but to shoot and kill him however based on the training they and i have received this would be classified as a justifiable legal response to this situation i e a good shoot it is my opinion that any shooting by a police officer that takes the life of an individual whatever the circumstances certainly should be viewed as a tragedy for all parties involved a good shoot is therefore an oxymoron as a black police officer i m so proud of captain ron johnson and how he is handling the crisis in ferguson i understand and empathize with the trials tribulations as well as the emotions he s going through he s in a tough position as most people both white and black want him for their own self interests to fail in bringing some peace and order to the community a community he grew up in it s bad enough that his white superiors and white colleagues have been pulling stunts to undermine him every step of the way but that s expected what annoys me most are the pseudo intellectual wanna be black revolutionary social media activists sitting in the safety of their homes in their comfortable swivel arm chairs in front of a computer discrediting and referring to him as an uncle tom sellout token and stooge of the white man sent to pacify the negroes what these pseudo intellectual wanna be black revolutionary social media activists don t understand which i do is that captain johnson is the shepherd keeping the wolves at bay who are more than ready willing and able and are only waiting for the right opportunity to slaughter their prey believe me i know of what i speak i ve been in policing situations where my presence and forceful intervention in certain situations have prevented the shooting and possible death of a black male as well as saved some of them from being criminalized for minor indiscretions what these pseudo intellectual wanna be black revolutionary social media activists fail to realize which i do is that the military equipment deployed against the peaceful protesters was not a show of force but a use of force it was only by the grace of god that one of the trigger happy cops didn t start shooting into the protesters which would have caused a conditioned natural chain reaction by the other cops to start shooting too it would have resulted into another sharpeville massacre believe me i know of what i speak i was on a tactical emergency task force the reason these same pseudo intellectual wanna be black revolutionary social media activists want captain johnson to fail why they not so secretly welcome the slaughter of innocents is the simple fact that it will provide the needed fodder for their next facebook twitter and blog rhetoric and posts which will undoubtedly bring more hits and notoriety to their sites let me share an article with you about the shooting and killing of a mentally and emotionally disturbed teenager in toronto canada by a police officer the killing of sammy yatim it s very informative on a number of different levels first it shows the similarities in police training in canada and the usa at handling these types of situations more importantly the article humanizes both the victim and the officer too often the media particularly social media demonizes and dehumanizes those they see as their adversaries we need to always remember that both are human beings with families who suffer in their own way let me also share with you a post i did in 2009 entitled a day of blogging for justice standing up against the pre trial electrocution it speaks for itself and further addresses your questions finally i ll end with the words of our musical prophets bob marley and peter tosh god continue to bless you my sister and provide you with the wisdom you re ever seeking asa the progressive war on truth claims another victim by stacy washington 02 saturday aug 2014 posted by asabagna in afrospear
